So I worry a lot
And people ask me why I worry
My family calls me a worry worm
And they rarely ever tell me anything unless it's
well
mandatory
Because I'll sit
And I'll wear myself to a crumb
And to pieces
About one thing
It's a really hard thing to fix
To be in my mind sometimes
Is to be in a pit that I can occasionally bring a flashlight into
But eventually
The batteries die along with my hope
The flashlight, the light,
It tends to be
People?
Food?
A good day?
A good song?
A good thought?
Good things?
But good things don't last
But I also have to keep in mind
That
Bad things don't last
But
Things
In general
They don't fall into your casket
They just don't stay around
They just don't last
Material
Materialistic
Things just don't get you anywhere
Your mind
Your soul
Your heart
Your spirit
Your beliefs
Your print on people
WHO YOU ARE
Is
What
Matters
And at the end of your life
No one cares
And no one thinks
About what you owned
They remember
How you made them feel
How you were
What you said
How you presented yourself
And just how you treat others
What matters is how you used the life you had
So right now
Make use of the life you own
And where you exist
And how you interpret yourself
so why worry?
I try to push my anxiety and anxious thoughts into useful things
I worry about
My future
How people perceive me
How I act
What I say
What I'm going to say
Who I'm going to see
What people say to me
If I'm being fair
If I'm being just
If God wants to accept me into his kingdom
If who I am
Is who someone should be
If I am a person that is a role model for another person
If what I worry about is
Well
Worth
The
Worry....
I loved this blog! As I read this made me think a lot about my worries that most of the time shouldn't even be a worry. This made me think a lot about things that I should worry about more. And this blog also made me realize that there is things in my life that I shouldn't be worried about. I guess when it comes down to it like you said you just have to decide if it is worth the worry. And if it isn't, worry more about the things that are really important in life. Your blogs always make me think about things. Great job Beth! -- Jo Baker- 4
ReplyDeletehey bethany, what's good? hope you're doing great. anyways, i worry all the time. about school, the future, those around me, or just about my safety. its easy to get caught up in worry and anxiety in today's crazy world. matthew 6:34 says that we shouldn't worry about anything! it says that tomorrow will worry about itself! if you'd like to read it word for word, here it is "therefore do not be anxious about tomorroe, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. sufficient for the day is its own trouble." Jesus said these words to comfort us and to encourage us! i hope that you won't worry so much, and that you'll hide that scripture in your heart. i know that verse encourages me! its been one of my favorite verses for years. by the way, that was a grand piece of writing, thanks for sharing it with everyone! -- karlee sanders
